our happy ending

December 21st. 10 days before the fall of Liyue.Childe holds his dagger with shaking hands as he stands over the peaceful sleeping figure, close to tears. One stab and his mission will be considered successful. Just one stab. Right in the prince’s beating heart. His blue eyes runs over the body, trying to capture the prince’s unblemished pale skin, eyes akin to Cor Lapis and hair black as ebony into his memory. However, with just a whisper of his name in a dream’s daze, the assassin collapses to the floor and lets out a broken laugh.“The greed of wanting to grow old with you is extremely bitter, my dear prince.”Or; Childe is sent as an undercover assassin to kill the prince of Liyue and overthrow the throne. Instead, he falls in love with said prince.
